A few days ago nvidia-drivers-304.60 was stabilized in Bug 438246. The current stable nvidia-settings is 295.20, which depends on nvidia-drivers-2*. This prevents an upgrade of nvidia-drivers on my stable amd64 system. I guess nvidia-settings should have been stabilized at together with the drivers.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 438246 ***
Sorry, but how is this a duplicate? #438246 is about stabilizing x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers (which has happened). This bug, #443594, is about stabilizing media-video/nvidia-settings (which has not happened). I don’t actually know why media-video/nvidia-settings exists (considering x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers also provides the nvidia-settings binary), but the fact remains that media-video/nvidia-drivers has revdeps which pull it in (among them app-admin/conky and xfce-extra/xfce4-sensors-plugin) and on a system in that situation, it prevents the upgrade of x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers.
Oh, I’m sorry Chí-Thanh, I only saw the comments, I did not realize you had un-duplicated the bug!
@Arch teams, please stabilize =nvidia-drivers-304.60.
I would like to know is there any particular reason in stabilizing 304.60 when we have 304.64 already stable, according to bug 443726?
More than this - it is already stabilized: 18 Nov 2012; Agostino Sarubbo <ago@gentoo.org> nvidia-drivers-173.14.36.ebuild, nvidia-drivers-304.60.ebuild, nvidia-drivers-304.64.ebuild, nvidia-drivers-96.43.23.ebuild: stable on amd64 and x86
I think there is some misunderstanding here. This bug is for media-video/nvidia-settings, not x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers. The stable nvidia-settings has RDEPEND="=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-2*" So any user with nvidia-settings installed can't upgrade to =nvidia-drivers-3*
(In reply to comment #7) > I think there is some misunderstanding here. > This bug is for media-video/nvidia-settings, not x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers. > > The stable nvidia-settings has > RDEPEND="=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-2*" > > So any user with nvidia-settings installed can't upgrade to > =nvidia-drivers-3* Maybe my original report was confusing because I mentioned nvidia-drivers so much. Anyway, I added =media-video/nvidia-settings-304.60 to my package.accept_keywords and have used it for some days now. It seems to work good, conky shows the GPU temperature and I have tested the nvidia-settings GUI application. (See also bug #444786)
I emerged "media-video/nvidia-settings-304.60" as well and it is working OK. I think we can make it stable.
Once again: @Arch teams, please stabilize =nvidia-drivers-304.60.

Sorry for the confusion.
x86 ok (repoman: ok, compilation: ok, usage: ok: various calls to nvidia-settings /w different options)
amd64 stable
Isn't it possible to fix it for x86? It's been a month since the original stabilization, and till now upgrade to xorg-server-1.13 is still blocked on stable x86 for nvidia users - over something that trivial...
* NVIDIA-Linux-x86-304.64.run SHA256 SHA512 WHIRLPOOL size ;-) ... [ ok ] * Determining the location of the kernel source code * Found kernel source directory: * /usr/src/linux * Found kernel object directory: * /lib/modules/3.7.9-gentoo/build * Found sources for kernel version: * 3.7.9-gentoo * Gentoo supports kernel's which are supported by NVIDIA * which are limited to the following kernels: * <sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.7 * <sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-3.7 * * You are on your own That is latest stable kernel. Aren't there any newer NVidia drivers ready? P.S. I don't have the hardware to test this for functionality.
Works OK on x86. Can it be marked stable on that arch as well?
@x86: Why can't this go stable finally?
x86 stable. Last arch, closing
